Yukki had been playing around Selesnya Charm all game. He had a Scavenging Ooze with 2 counters, and 2 creatures in the graveyard. Cunningham attacks with a 5/5 Wurm token, and Yukki blocks. He then pumps his Ooze up to 5/5, and Cunningham plays Selesnya charm to exile it. He responds with Golgari Charm, shrinking his Ooze to 4/4 (meaning Selesnya charm doesn't exile it), making the Wurm 4/4, so when he activates his Ooze a second time up to 5/5, it kills the Wurm and sticks around. When the Wurm dies, it also kills Cunninghams Elemental token. He wen't from dominate board position, in full control of the game and about to win, to loosing 2 turns later

Bless his light ;_;

I always seem to get into card sorting mode during protours. Watching it on my ps3 makes it even better.

There's a second Jund walkers, but not as fun of a list.

 

[bigkrev]

Also, after the last modern GP was calling Jund "Rock with Red", i'm glad we are back to sensible naming conventions here.

 

[Lucario]

If Pierre gets eliminated, we'll be going down to 0 fun-to-watch decks in the top 4 =\

 

[Firemind]

I might have to add more Magma Sprays in the sideboard. Can't board out Lightning Strikes because of Fleecemane Lion and Stoke the Flames because of Loxodon Smiter. Damn G/W!

Yeah, that's idiotic. Jund Rock. There you go. USE YOUR WORDS YOU EXPLICITLY CREATED FOR THIS PURPOSE.

 

[Lucario]

Elvish mystic is his only foil? I guess he's not as afraid of deck checks as I am, seems like they could get a little warped after two full days of magic.

It's also a card that you can get tons of advantage out of cutting to the top. Do FNM foils just not warp as much?

 

["God's Beard!"]

Definitely a worse deck but I'll keep watching then.

 

[bigkrev]

Am I right in assuming that this Jund Walkers deck just destroys Mono Black/WB?

Yes.

Yup, it's nothing but accellerants, removal, and high-impact bombs. It's designed specifically to blow up Thoughtseize decks.

Yup, it's nothing but accellerants, removal, and high-impact bombs. It's designed specifically to blow up Thoughtseize decks.

The fact that they're bombs doesn't matter so much as incremental advantage. You can't beat the x-for-one deck when your deck is based on one-for-ones. It's the same reason mono black loses to the red aggro decks that play multiple creatures in early turns.

So yeah, when all your top decks generate advantage thoughtseize isn't as good. Avoiding creature removal is a nice bonus.

Also *wink wink*ing at the 5/30-5/31 weekend.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I'm sad. The two people playing the best this weekend were Yuuki and Huey and they're both out right off the bat.

Guess I'm rooting for Flock now.

 

[Haly]

Why would you root for such a durdly deck my god.

 

[Firemind]

He does play it pretty fast though.

Reminds me of Cifka playing Eggs. :lol

 

["God's Beard!"]

Glad to see we'll be getting more Yuuki soon. Dude made a fan this weekend.

Why would you root for such a durdly deck my god.

Because I play control in Standard.


But man, my head is swimming with superfriends right now.

It takes a special amount of crazy to play a deck that doesn't actually have a way to win the game in it's maindeck

It has lots of ways to win.

Such as?

It's only ways to win maindeck are Mutavaults, and decking from Elixer of Immortality. Jace is only a win condition if your opponent has something.

There you go, three win conditions! That's enough when you need a certain control density while blanking your opponent's cards. The deck is pretty much perfect.

This is boring for everyone who isn't Ivan.

 

[f0rk]

Was debating whether I wanted to try and borrow a deck for Game Day next weekend, the chance this deck might be popular making it less likely.

 

[bigkrev]

I forgot the other method, just shown on stream "I'm going to discard these 7 spells you can never beat because the rest of my hand is better, inducing a concession.

This deck is worse in timed rounds unless you are REALLY good at it and can play it super quick

 

["God's Beard!"]

I honestly believe that this is the best deck in the format if there wasn't a clock.

22K watching the stream on Twitch right now

I guess boring the other player to sleep counts as winning.

Its literally no different than it was when Theros came out. Did it win all of the other PTs?

 

[Negator]

Man, I cannot wait for Sphinx's Revelation to leave Standard.

If you can't understand why this is boring, then I don't know what to say.

Pretty sure people weren't playing Quicken Planar Cleansing at Pro Tour Theros.

It's more entertaining to watch than t1 seize t2 rat gg.

Magic: Making Morridoom look entertaining.

I like watching Morridoom go off only because of how execution intensive it is and am always amazed when Chris G pilots it.

I feel like it's actually pretty similar though, when Chris G starts losing it's hype time. I feel people feel the same way watching these PT games.

 

[Grakl]

Magic: Making Morridoom look entertaining.

Nah, this isn't true. Morridoom is actually somewhat interesting because you're on the edge of your seat the whole time waiting for the opponent to get in.

Nah, that's better.
